To His Excellency James F. Robinson Governor of the commonwealth of Kentucky

The undersigned citizens of Ballard ^McCracken^ & Graves countys Kentucky would respectfully represent unto your Excellency- that Eli Smith a citizen of Graves county was arrested by U. S. calvalry from Columbus Ky on the day of August 1862, and sent as we are informed, to Alton Illinois, where he still remains a prisoner -- Mr Smith is a respectable citizen of said county about sixty years of age, and in bad health being crippled with rheumatism;- like most of the citizens of this part of the state Mr Smith has been and is a Southern Rights man, and sympathizes with the Southern people in this war. But we believe like most of the ctcitizens ^now remaining in^ of this region he has taken no active part in the rebellion and was a quiet law abiding man-

What the particular charge against Mr Smith is for which he is imprisoned we his neighbors and ^his^ family have not been able to ascertain further than this, thathis son in law who had been in the Rebel army, on the night of his return to Graves County was caught aht Mr Smiths house -- Without trial, without any sort of investigation a quiet citizen of Kentucky has been taken from his family & home and immersed within the walls of a prison in a distant state -- This we believe this an outrage, that there is nothing in the history of the times to justify it, and we appeal to you

2

as our Governor as Governor of the commonwealth of Kentucky to demand of the U. S. Government Justice and crights for the citizens of Kentucky. If Mr Smith is guilty let him be punished according to law, let him be punished, after a trial and conviction and not before Feeling confidant that Mr Smith has been guilty of no violation of law, We respectfully ask your Excellency to interfere and have him released from prison
